Or if you're looking to pick up an awesome asynchronous toolkit, you
could use Twisted (http://www.twistedmatrix.com) to do that very simply.
(Very simply, that is, after you've had sufficient Kool-Ade, if you
will.)

I'm using Twisted together with Pythoncard and it's an absolutely killer
combo. Somebody with more experience than I should do a writeup on it;
that combination is the answer to a lot of developers' needs.
